Speaking to the Lincolnite he said: ‘Trey was an inspirational man and his loss is tragic. We are all stunned and very upset.
‘Trey was born in Mobil, in the southern USA, and he had that typical warmth that’s always associated with the Deep South.
‘He was smart, generous and very sensitive. His demise followed a period of depression – but one we thought he had come through.
‘We feel robbed, both of a friend and of a great colleague.
‘The LincUpLive conference this week will be dedicated to his memory. All profits and donations will go to The Samaritans.’
